Hi to all. I've trolled the forums for about a week now. Gathering info and what not. We'll today I decided to join because I purchased a MS6-GT Whitewater Pearl Mica. The car is definately a blast to drive. Not as fast as I want but that will come w/ time. I put 150 miles on it tonight and enjoyed every second of it. I'll have some pics up tomorrow. Anyways Hi.

[zweetdreamz]

SO...quick question anyone know how wide of a rim and tire combo we can get on these things also what kind of offsets do i need no rims shops around here are worth a damn

 

[Da 6]

regular 6 was 8 wide. You might wanna invest in fender rolling if you plan on getting rims wider than stock. IIRC the stockers are 7 wide.

 

[zweetdreamz]

so for 8" wide rims we need to roll the fenders? this is gonna suck i need auto-x rim/tires

 

[Da 6]

Stock = 18x7 w/ 55mm Offset 5x114.3 bolt pattern. rolling would be wise cause it's cheaper than replacing a gouged rim and or fender.

Sad thing is my 6 tucks like that for the time being. Thing is not to assume a setup won't rub. It took some 8 months till they found out it rubbed.
